The Best Sports Cars From the 1960s

[@byronpink9061]

Love the curvy/muscular look of these amazing sport cars of their times. That was true power with naturally aspirated engines and no exhaust note enhancements required. Thanks for sharing!! BP

[@pacocruzmolina4977]

Muchas gracias, disfruto mucho viendo estas maravillas

[@johnclayden1670]

I had an Interceptor III in the 70's: great machine, super comfortable, not really a sports car but a true Grand Tourer. Problem was I couldn't keep the engine cool.

[@lgz2006]

Desirably beautiful, classical, timeless cars from well known companies in 1960s.

[@jeanferret9497]

The 2000GT is a masterpiece but it had a tiny interior...Connery was so tall they made a soft top version for the film as he simply could not fit into the coupe.

[@gf4353]

THERE S AN E-TYPE IN THE NEW YORK CITY ART MUSEUM. BLACK COUPE, JUST BEAUTIFUL..

[@milesarcher8502]

Love the Toyota. A 2-litre dohc 6, and it really screamed. The used one in an early James Bond flick, but Connery was too tall, so they had to cut the top off and make it the one-and-only CONVERTIBLE. Also the Jensen. It came with 383 or 440, and one year they even made it 4wd, for the ski crowd!

[@philipberry6477]

Sports car essentials; two doors, no roof, lively performance and good handling.

[@gazza116]

its amazing a lot of 4cyl have this much power and 6cyl twice as much and more nowadays.

[@btbb3726]

True. Deveopments in design and technology in both power trains and manufacturing seem to have really moved things forward while also improving fuel economy.

[@markrobinson1135]

It's the fuel, the metallurgy, engineering. Every 10 years the technology doubles and or triples

The XKE and the Cobra were the most notable for their time horsepower and a lower cost to own.

The 2000gt is such a piece of art. Kind of reminds me of the Ferrari 250 gt

[@graemedurie9094]

Good to see the Toyota and Mazda in this list. It's a pity that they weren't given as much credit in their day as they deserved. The Jensen is a very odd inclusion in this company - a list of touring cars perhaps, but not everyone would rate them highly. I'd not include the Porsche - in its original specifications the handling is best described as different, and the lengthening of the wheelbase did not make things much better.

[@neilhall676]

The Jensen is a nice Grand Tourer , it’s no sports car!!!!

[@johnclayden1670]

Spot on.

The Fact that the Jensen made it onto this List is Proof of it's, shall we say, Bad Assery(assirie??)..... You get My Point.

[@graemedurie9094]

Partly right - is definitely not a sports car. A Grand Tourer, yes, but opinions might differ on whether it was a nice one or not.

The info boxes are a bit approximate. For example, it gave specs for the Porsche 911 as 2.7 litre. The '60s 911 was 2.0 litre until August '69 when it went to 2.2 litre, and the 2.7 didn't appear until the RS of 1973, and ordinary road cars in '74. It takes only a few minutes on your favourite search engine to find this out, and people who watch your video will assume you are giving correct information.... Anyone who has driven a Corvette knows they have lots of power, but handling and stopping is VERY sketchy (like any US muscle car of the ;60s). Not a sports car. Nor is the Jensen , but it is a fine GT car of its era. There are plenty of others equal or greater cred as a GT but from greater marques But no small European sports cars? Lotus, Alfa Romeo, Alpine, Lancia, Healey etc etc made some great sports cars in the '60s. The Datsun 240Z is a fine car, and gets a mention in the comments but did not come out until 1970, so it doesn't count here

[@tankkiller_2666]

[@garrettgoulet7145]

I always thought that the Toyota 2000G.T. coupe was one of the most underrated sports cars of all time, though the car was very expensive to.build and the engines were made by Yamaha.

Mazda Cosmo has a 1.0 liter (60 cubic inch) 2 rotor rotary engine that made 110 and later 128 hp, not a 1.9 liter (119.8 cubic inch), like you described. Your 'typo' error? doubled the displacement, That's like saying the 3 liter engine is a 6 liter. If you were more accurate, people could go, wow that little 1 liter 60 cubic inch engine from the 60s was an over-achiever, huh GO ROTARY

[@michaelcoley1089]

Did I miss the Aston Martins? DB 4, 5, 6. I saw DB 4s racing in the TT at Goodwood in 1960. Salvatori and Shelby. They lost to Moss in a Ferrari but would have to be considered.
